Patients, Not Procedures

Managing patients in healthcare is always challenging and today the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Healthcare costs across the globe are expected to increase rapidly over the coming decades. The industry needs hospital systems to be as efficient and effective as possible. Datacom has proven experience supporting life critical health service providers, via policy and administration.

In 2015 the Australian Federal Department of Health reported that $15 billion is wasted each year on ineffective programs, marginal treatments and avoidable errors.

We manage complexity, systemise management, increase treatment accuracy, and maximise the time medical staff spend on patient care, not paper work. Less errors mean better patient outcomes, shorter stays, and higher quality of service – all of which equate to savings across the board.

Datacom’s focus on emerging technologies is driven by the need for standardised and automated IT systems, supporting key initiatives such as better exchange increased integration and consistency of patient data, better services and more sustainable outcomes for clinicians, administrators and IT professionals.

Our experienced local consultants run a virtual healthcare sector team now strengthened with the addition of a lead medical practitioner, Sue McCarthy.
